Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
玩命给老黑男主洗脑，全家助攻俩0在一起～何必呢？剧情真的是无语，老黑倒是挺帅的，肌肉男人好好～反倒男主很惹人嫌。
老套温馨的小品电影。在进入疫情的第三年，喝着酒看一部这样的浪漫电影，大概能开心好几天
一眼望到头的HE，相伴多年岂是一句好朋友能够讲清楚的，又有多少人以朋友的名义爱着对方却不敢踏出在一起的第一步，其实不用担心会不会分手，多年朋友只有在一起才是最终结局吧......
so cliche. 看了10分钟才发现是个gay love movie , 有趣 （歪头
天啊….整个故事概括： 在大城市打拼的男主角和室友是如何一步步被原生家庭道德绑架最后和全家认可的对象交往并从大城市离职返回家乡小城…
看了前部分，这种家庭氛围太让人羡慕了，明天继续，追评，哈哈
太假了，一个1一个0怎么能从小会做那么久的好基友，不相信，很少评论呸
The holiday vibe we need.
看拍摄就知道这是明显的电视电影，所以也不需要过多的期望
虽然很俗套但是，Hell it‘s Christmas and I love it.
一整个合家欢言情cliche🙄单身狗看它简直自取其辱，扣一星
看不下去，典型美式爛片，強扭的瓜不甜懂嗎？學直人那套按頭配種有意思？做人別太雞婆，管好你們自己，少自以為是做月老，倆男主一丁點火花都沒有！！！別為難好姐妹了吧
黑人小哥也太可以了，真的爱了，很棒，作为一个爱情喜剧片打发时间还是可以看看的
211208@ pianku 营造了欢乐祥和的圣诞氛围？

又好看又好笑的，而且还有我最喜欢的布兰妮。🥰🥰
圣诞必备合家欢系列，同性装上异性恋的套路 直接被我基友吐槽到爆，但里面的男人都太可了！非常下饭！
很甜但是很扯，做朋友那么多年，突然在一起……emmm有点不适
还行，全剧挺喜庆的！无论同性异性，这世界多点真爱还是挺不错的。
电影2星 不过为烤了火 喝了Negroni 的cozy体验＋两颗小星星
